Nite watches

[paul w]

The watch is at Nite for repair under warranty as we speak, so hopefully it was the exception rather than the rule.
Hope you enjoy your new watch.

G shock are good for the price, but the straps don't always last as long as the watches.
think about what functions you want.
I liked the timer on my G shock so I could weep at my running times
I think Nite have better backlighting, but at that price you could get a G shock and a top of the range head torch with the difference

Arrived today
First impressions are good, well built and feels solid!
Nice strap and trits seem bright enough on initial inspection.

You can get attachments for some casio/G-Shock models that allows you to fit a NATO or fabric strap, that should see you right!

I owned a nite watch for a little while but didn't like the design of the strap attachment and the necessity to purchase replacement nite straps. Ended up buying a Traser Commander in titanium. Standard 22mm lugs so can take bracelet, natos, zulu's, rubber etc

Well you've got it now so I won't tellyou to get a Traser or Luminox instead!

Hope it turns out to be a good watch

Cheers mate!
I'm nothing if not impulsive lol
What would you recommend then? For next time

Could have got a Seiko "monster" diver for less !!! LOL Bomb proof - automatic and waterproof to 200m or step up and get a Marathon GSAR - Brightest watch I've ever owned (far brighter than Traser although uses similar tritrium vials)

I love different types of lume, but tritium is my favourite.

If you like the Superluminova type thing you should definately check out Lum-tec, Pyrolume and Praesto as brands.

If you like electric lighting then check out the extraordinary signal light on the MTM watches.

I absolutely love tritium watches. If I had £200 to spend at the moment I would definately go for the Tawatec E.O. Diver with the tactical ICS coloured tritium.

I actually own two Traser watches, a supersport and a code blue but there are so many cool brands that use tritium lume now.


For example:

Ball
Chase Durer
Doxa
Plasmir Milgraph
Marathon
Ocean7
Dievas
Christopher Ward
Swiss Military Watch / Tawatec
H3 Tactical
Traser
Luminox
Armourlite
KHS
ZBV
Snoon
MWC (Military watch Company)
Nite
Mondaine
ASP
5.11 Tactical (I think!)
UZI
Smith + Wesson
Praetorian
Rescuer
Swiss Timer
Reactor
S.U.G (one model only thats quite hard to find but very cheap)
Humvee (Zulu)
Stryker
Weems + Plath
Mossy Oak
Royal Swiss

As a general rule watches that use tritium tubes made by MB microtec have slightly brighter lume than those that use tubes made by SRB.

I think apart from the Tawatec I would go for something slightly unusual like a snoon streetfighter.

Very pleased with my trasers though.

Some searching needs to be done then
Not in Belgium though.

I'll have a wee gander over next few days or so and get the birthday wishlist together
